Joshua

From: Steve Arterburn Ministries

Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."  

All through the Old Testament book of Joshua, the Lord says, "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid." What a message for us!

As I read through the book of Joshua I was amazed at how when the Lord spoke to him, he never stood before the Lord with excuses. He never grumbled and complained about his childhood or his feelings of inadequacy or his anxiety or anything else you can think of. He simply moved forward in faith. As a consequence he led the entire nation of Israel to conquer and settle in the Promised Land.

If you would arise each day with the same simple faith of Joshua, a faith that simply trusted the Lord as shown by your actions and behavior, just think about what you could accomplish...according to God's will for your life. The enemy will be defeated! "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
